Teeth whitening enhances natural enamel but does not affect restorative materials like fillings or crowns, potentially causing color mismatches; consult your dentist in Centennial, CO, to ensure your dental work aligns with your whitening goals and overall smile.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure to enhance the brightness of natural teeth, but it’s important to understand its impact on dental restorations like fillings and crowns. Whitening treatments, whether in-office or with take-home kits like Opalescence, are formulated to lighten the natural enamel of your teeth.
However, these treatments do not have the same effect on restorative materials such as composite fillings, porcelain crowns, or veneers. Consequently, you may notice a color mismatch after whitening if your restorations were initially matched to a darker shade of your natural teeth.

Sometimes, you may need to have your fillings or crowns replaced or adjusted to match your newly whitened teeth. Dr. Michael Franquemont in Centennial offers comprehensive consultations to ensure your whitening process aligns with your overall dental health and cosmetic goals.
